The book begins with simple shapes and gently evolves into intricate patterns inspired by Iranian domes, tiles, and arches — those silent storytellers of a rich culture.

That small conversation sparked an idea. One that turned into something unexpected — my first coloring book. Made with love, inspired by heritage, and guided by playfulness. 🧡.

It all started with a FaceTime call over tea ☕ with my sister, celebrating my nephew’s first birthday. We talked about how beautiful it would be if he could grow up connected to the shapes and soul of Iranian architecture.

🎨 I never thought I'd design a coloring book. But a little break from work gave me space to explore a creative side I hadn’t visited in a while. 🧵.

Even if the Islamic Republic falls, this war won't bring democracy; it will rebuild tyranny in another form. It will destroy Iran’s stability & open the door to long-term fragmentation. War never stays "targeted." Civilians will be next We've seen this playbook before.#StopTheWar.

Right now, 50 injured people — mostly women and children — have been taken to Chamran Hospital in Tehran. Why won’t they stop? Why are they targeting residential areas?. #Iran 🇮🇷 #IranUnderAttack #IsraelIranConflict #MiddleEastCrisis #WarOnCivilians #StopTheBombing.

“They are bombing Tehran. I’m not sure if I’ll stay alive, but I wanted to tell you”.That’s the message my sister sent me 5 hours ago.Since then, I haven’t stopped crying. I’ve been pacing my apartment like a beheaded chicken — praying, sobbing, raging, spiraling into fear! #iran.

For #Iran; homeland and for Iranian people that have been through so much for such a long time! .Iraq attack for 8 years! Then sanctions which targeted low to mid income #Iranians more than anything! And now direct attack on people! Are we next the Palestinians!.
به ایرانم، به خاکم، به خونم قسم.که هر جا روم، با تو باشم، وطن!. #ایران.

Gyms remind me of the university labs, . attendees are self-volunteering for torture!!!.No one looks like they are having fun, their face shows a deep level of agony while pushing forward! .when you ask “How are you feeling?” .response always is “Fantastic” .Just to look cool.
